CNN host Reza Aslan called President Trump “a piece of shit” and a “man baby” for his response to the London attack that left at least seven dead and dozens injured.
“This piece of shit is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He’s an embarrassment to humankind,” Aslan tweeted Saturday after Trump called for the courts to uphold his controversial travel ban after news broke of the attack.

Aslan also offered a “translation” of NBC Nightly News tweeting that it would not be “relaying the president’s retweet” of a Drudge Report tweet that shared news of the London attack because it was “unconfirmed.”
“Translation: the president is a man baby that must be ignored in times of crisis,” Aslan wrote.
Aslan later apologized for his comments.
